Just a year after GO:OD AM ascended to the Top Five of the Billboard 200 and rap charts, Miller returned with his fourth LP, The Divine Feminine. The single "100 Grandkids" peaked appropriately at number 100, while "Weekend" was certified gold. GO:OD AM followed in 2015 with Lil B, Chief Keef, and Miguel on the album's guest list. A year later, Miller issued the mixtape Faces, signed with Warner Bros., and launched his own imprint, REMember Music, under the major label. The more experimental effort, Watching Movies with the Sound Off, followed in 2013, with left-field hip-hop names like Action Bronson, Earl Sweatshirt, and Flying Lotus lending a hand. His seventh mixtape, Macadelic, arrived the next year, featuring appearances by Kendrick Lamar, Juicy J, Cam'ron, Lil Wayne, and more (the set was later remastered for a spring 2018 release). The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Rostrum released his debut EP, On and on and Beyond, and his debut album, Blue Slide Park, in 2011. His KIDS mixtape became his breakthrough when it was released in August of 2010, earning plenty of attention from hip-hop blogs and landing Miller a recording contract with Rostrum Records. Miller's first posthumous album, Circles, was completed by producer Jon Brion and released in early 2020, peaking at number three on the Billboard 200.īorn Malcolm McCormick, Miller first used the alias Easy Mac, a name referenced on his debut mixtape, 2007's But My Mackin' Ain't Easy. Following his death, his albums crashed the Billboard 200 as mourning fans flocked to his early output. Miller followed up with the Top Three-charting Swimming in 2018, but the rapper died a month after the album's release and before it was nominated for a Grammy. Subsequent efforts kept him in the Top Five into 2016, when he hit another peak with The Divine Feminine, which topped the R&B and rap charts. His debut full-length, Blue Slide Park, topped the Billboard 200 upon release. Coming on the scene with a throwback style that betrayed his years, Pittsburgh-based rapper and producer Mac Miller combined languid vocals, playful rhymes, and hypnotic production influenced by OutKast, Beastie Boys, A Tribe Called Quest, and Lauryn Hill.
